Vice President Kamala Harris, in a blitz of interviews on Tuesday, pitched a proposal to help people raising children while also caring for aging parents and denounced former President Donald J. Trump, calling some of his statements “surreal” and saying he was too friendly with Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin.
On “The View,” Ms. Harris said the former president’s willingness to spread false information during the response to Hurricane Helene showed how he “really lacks empathy on a very basic level.” A couple of hours later, on Howard Stern’s satellite radio show, she faulted Mr. Trump over a new report that he had sent Covid tests to Mr. Putin for his personal use at the height of the pandemic. Her interview with Mr. Stern was also one of the most revelatory she has given about herself as a person.
Last night, CBS broadcast her taped appearance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” where she cracked a beer with the host and again condemned Mr. Trump over his ties to Mr. Putin. She asked the late-night audience to remember the frantic early Covid response: “You remember how many people did not have tests and were trying to scramble to get them?”
The appearances come as a new national Times/Siena poll shows her with a slim lead over Mr. Trump, whose virtual town hall on health with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the former independent presidential candidate and vaccine skeptic, was postponed because of the approach of Hurricane Milton.
